About WAZIS

The idea of Wazi shoes came initially from two sisters, Alice and Heather, who have long time connections to East Africa. With parents that met and fell in love on a yacht on the Indian Ocean, the girls grew up in Kenya in their early years and continued to visit East Africa in their formative years, with it firmly embedded in their hearts. Alice made it her home, after falling in love and marrying Abdul, a Tanzanian. Trips back and forth to the USA would always require copious amounts of luggage filled to the brim with East African goodies. Friends and family members would frequently request sandals, and voila the idea for Wazi shoes was born with Heather, Alice and Abdul. An idea though, is just that, until it has the engine; the sisters met the incredible and energetic Marlee who was key to making the initial idea a reality and is a true partner in Wazi shoes.
